I’m not sure if this is allowed on r2r, but I saw that you live in the Nashville area, so I thought I would suggest the aquatic critter if you need an lfs. They have really good customer service, they have healthy fish, and their employees are very knowledgeable.
Yep I use that place. Its the best in the area!

Fellow Reefers. I will update my first page with this info, but I thought it might be helpful in posting the settings from my ReefLink so other 100.3 owners can see how I have this setup. For the record, I had the flow way too low, and that might have been why my cycle was all over the place and why my skimmer was not working as I had the M2 set on default which was producing different flow rates throughout the day! I would estimate The flow from the return pump is now about 500GPH. The MP-40 is about 400GPH

Since the fish has been removed, I would dose the the ammonia back up to 2 and see if the tank processes it in 24 hours. Just my $.02.

In the same cave as Minty the peppermint shrimp is one of the two Cucumbers that came with the Clean Up Crew! He stays in this cave and just roots around in the sand! The other one, a black cucumber lives with the Serpent Star in another cave! All doing well despite the tank parameters.

Ok I ordered a bunch of Salifert kits. This is what I have now. The skimmer just started reliably skimming yesterday. Not done any water changes. Not fed any food. Added 15 more crabs and 10 snails.

I always did a water change at week 4 but I think it depends on what your nitrate level is...
